Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Love Legacy!
I can't believe it took six months to complete this next chapter... thanks for sticking around!
Last time we left the loves celebrating a wedding... a start of a new chapter for newlyweds Elena and Tyler, but also for a few of the other Loves...
Arni: maybe she's in the garden? Oh wait, maybe I shouldn't be here... this is the place where I died... bittersweet, isn't it? Or well, very bitter, not so sweet, although I'm glad I can still come back and watch over my family... and make out with my wife of course... speaking of which, she's not here either... where has she gone?
Alice: hello Sophie! Nice to see you again! Wanna play fetch? Let's go!
Sophie: wof!
Alice: oh, hey great-grandma! You're here too!
Juliet: oh thank goodness... at least one of you is here! Where has everybody gone? Your dad was panicking because he couldn't find your mum... but she's not one of us yet.... or is she? Oh my god...
Alice: relax great-gran, she's just gone on holiday!
Juliet: on holiday! Oh, that's... unusual? Although I remember when we all went to Aurora Skies... that's where your mum met your dad in fact... is there where she went?
Alice: oh, no, she went to some seaside place with aunt Rebecca... old ladies' week or something... that's what they said...
Juliet: oh marvellous! I could do with a seaside holiday to be honest... or a spa holiday, where I could get a massage every day! My back hurts you know...
Alice: well, we don't have a spa but we do have a massage table if you want?
Juliet: oh thanks darling, that's very kind of you!
Juliet: it works magic! I can already feel my muscles relax!
Alice: I haven't started yet, great-gran....
Sophie: wof?
Arni: no? Oh alright, I'll go check in the gym, or maybe she's in the sauna, she loves that thing my June... as do I... after all, I come from Aurora Skies!
Juliet: I know! She's giving me a massage right now... and you just broke the zen vibes...
Arni: darling, have you seen your mother? She's not in the sauna either...
Alice: I'm sorry, dad, but she will be back soon!
Arni: thanks darling, I feel so much better now!
Sebastian: good morning granddaughter! You're up early!
Alice: jeez, grandpa, lower your voice ... headache...
James: please remind me again why we're doing homework at 5 in the morning?
Aneira: oh come on James, that's not true...
James: sorry grandpa *laughs* but hey, since you're here, wanna come play basketball with me? I could do with a little match...
James: but you know what? I could train you if you want...
Aneira: hey mum! You look happier now... did you have your coffee?
Leo: hello little chickens! How do you like your new home?
Alice: dad, mum is not here, she's gone on holiday with aunt Rebecca...
Arni: oh... right... I didn't know... that's too bad, I had something very important to tell her and---
Arni: woah! There's a ghost in the bathroom! Ah, no, wait, that's just me... oh dear, that's embarrassing... I still haven't got used to my ghost face...
Arni: and do you know when she will be back, your mother?
Alice: I don't know, I think in a few days time, maybe a week? Aunt Rebecca said one of her friends gave her the key to her seaside house, so they could stay as long as they wanted...
Arni: right... right....
Juliet: yes that's right, she's not here, that's too bad. Now, could you please leave, I'm trying to go back to my zen mood...
Alice: sorry dad, I didn't know great-gran was so much into back massages and zen moods! But you look happy...
Arni: I'm happy to see you kid! Although I was also hoping to talk to your mother...
Arni: yeah... but this holiday... it's a strange thing, isn't it? She doesn't...
Alice: what?
Arni: she doesn't have a new man, does she?
Alice: what!?! But of course not, dad!!! Jeez what are you thinking! You and mum are so in love!!
Arni: amazing! Thanks, Alice, this just lifted a big weight from my heart! You know, I still love your mother very much... as the first time I fell in love with her... no, more than that!
Alice: oh dad... you're so sweet...
Alice: and don't worry, mum will be back soon! She's just spending some time with her sister at the seaside, that's all...
Juliet: yes, yes, we all love each other, all is sweet and beautiful. But who's doing the dishes? Always me.
Juliet: That's not cool, people!
Arni: so, since your mother is not here, shall we do something together, dear daughter? Like watching a movie or something?
Alice: dad, it's really late, we should all go to bed...
Arni: oh, alright then.. that's ok, maybe next time...
Alice: ... but you know what? I think a movie is a great idea! Let's go dad...
Arni: cool! What would you like to watch?
Sebastian: wow, you're grumpy... I had not realised you are not a morning person, Alice!
Alice: not when I sleep for 3 hours and then get woken up so early... I'm too old for movie nights... two movies in a row... and then, dad gave Leo the great idea of getting chickens for the coop, and he was so excited he could not wait... I need coffee...a lot of it...
Sebastian: ouch... well, I leave you to your coffee then...
Lowri: because we suck at school and we really need to improve our grades, brother...
James: yes, but why so early...
Aneira: because dad was shouting about going to get chickens for the coop in the corridor and he woke us up...
James: well, some of us... looks like we have some heavy sleepers in the family.... how could Eric sleep through that noise? I'm jealous...
Aneira: Arwyn is the same... while I couldn't go back to sleep even if I tried. But then again, this gives me extra time with my wonderful siblings, right? *smiles*
James: yeah, but it's so easy for you, you don't need to use the extra time to improve your school grades... honestly, I can't wait to be a young adult too! High school sucks...
James: whatever, I'm done trying to memorize stuff I'll forget in the next 5 min. Since I'm awake I may as well go outside to play basketball... Lowri, wanna join?
Lowri: mm let me think... no? Thank you, but no thank you.
James: oh, come on, I know you're not a fan of studying either... I thought you had found a new love for the art and painting?
Lowri: James, I just moved to high school, I'm trying to catch up... I can paint later... and play basketball with you even later! Now, let me focus please...
James: as you please...
James: whatever, I'm so going to shoot a couple of hoops... now that I think of it, waking up so early is not so bad... more time for working out!
Sebastian: well said, kid!
James: oh, hello grandpa, I hadn't seen you there... no pun intended...
Sebastian: haha so funny. Not.
Sebastian: I would love to, but I'm an old ghost, my back hurts...
James: that's because you are not training and your muscles get lazy! If ghosts still have muscles.. I don't know...
Sebastian: really?
James: yes, I can design a little training plan for you and you'll be back in shape in no time, you'll see! And then, no more back pain!
Aneira: oh, hello grandpa! You look happy today...
Sebastian: I am, kiddo... but your brother just offered to be my personal trainer and put me back into shape, should I accept?
Aneira: haha, of course, if that's what you want? James is the fitness expert in the family! Exercising is his thing so if you need advice on that, of course James is your go to man!
James: see? If even big sister says so... come on grandpa, I need someone to test... I mean, I have not really trained anybody before but would love to help and need to start somewhere... what do you say?
Sebastian: mm now I'm not so sure anymore... don't you have school?
James: yeah, so what, you're around after school anyway! Come on, we have a fully functional gym here, I can show you how to do the exercises... it will be fun!
Alice: not one, but two were needed today! But I feel better now, yes, thanks darling *smiles*
Aneira: dad got a little too excited about the chickens this morning... where is he by the way?
Alice: probably outside, getting them settled...
Aneira: we should go have a look! I'm sure they're super cute!
Alice: yeah... but I might need another coffee first....
Leo: Arni was right, it was about time that we put this coop to good use! You guys are so cute! Aren't you?
Leo: aaah how I love gardening! Don't you love it too, Hatty? But it's a proper workout you know, better change into the right outfit!
Hatty: ... [whatever, give me seeds...]
Leo: oh hello darlings! Yes, look! Aren't they beautiful?
Leo: that's Hatty! The white one is Blanka, the rooster is Benedict and the black hen in the coop is Darkie...
Alice: hello Hatty, do you want a treat?
Aneira: she's not hungry mum, she's literally walking over her food...
Aneira: *laughs* so cute...
Leo: I'm glad you both like the new additions to the family! Your grandpa Arni was right An, it was about time we populated this coop!
Leo: well, maybe let's wait a bit to expand the family! But yes, eventually we could get more!
Alice: wait, how many are we talking about? This household is already so crowded and crazy I'm not sure there is time to take care of all these new friends...
Alice: straight to the point *laughs*
Aneira: er.... we're still discussing options... but there's no rush, right?
Aneira: thanks, mum, I really am! And once we have decided you will be the first to know...
Alice: I would hope so!
Leo: hey, what about me?
Aneira: Ella is super happy! She keeps sending me pictures from new locations... I think they're exploring Selvadorada right now...
Leo: well, it's good for them, if that's what they want... and speaking of adventures, we had our fair share in our youth, right darling? *winks*
Alice: what do you mean in our youth! We're still young, Leo *laughs*
Aneira: *smiles* well, it seems like it runs in the family! Look at grandma...
Leo: ah yes, another unexpected trip...
Alice: well, my mum had her fair share of adventures when she was young too you know, that's how she met my dad! Besides, this is just a holiday with her sister, not a real adventure...
Leo: oh hello Blanka, would you like a cuddle?
Arwyn: hey, there you are An! Oh wow, we have really got chickens now!
Leo: ...or are you hungry? Do you want more food? Perhaps you could start by eating those parasites plaguing my vegetables, what do you think?
Aneira: good morning! And yes we do! Did you not hear my dad screaming in the corridor this morning?
Arwyn: uhm, vaguely... I was sleeping...
Arwyn: but of course my darling, I love being part of your family! And I'm so grateful that they took me in and made me feel welcome from the very beginning... but then of course, I can't wait to start our own family... one day *smiles*
Alice: *smiles* our children are growing up so fast Leo... it seems like yesterday that we went on that mission to save Susie in Elfland! Ah, sweet memories...
Leo: sweet memories indeed... *smiles*
Alice: jeez Leo! Nobody's gonna die, anytime soon! We're still young!!
Leo: of course we are! I meant before all the kids grow up and move out and start their own families!
Alice: aaah that! Then yes, then perhaps you are right... it's now or never... but in any case we should wait for my mum to come back... speaking of which, I wonder what she's doing, she's not been texting much, I hope she's alright...
Leo: I'm sure she is! She's enjoying time with her sister, I'm sure they're having a blast!
June: speaking of which... fancy a swim, sister?
Rebecca: sure! The sun is starting to burn a bit too much... time for a dip!
Rebecca: wait up! Jeez I didn't know you were so energetic, big sis!
June: me neither... must be the holiday vibes!
June: I'm sorry I wasn't there for you Rebs, I wish I had been you know...
Rebecca: don't worry, we were not much in touch at the time, and you had your legacy duties and your family to take care of...
June: this place is fantastic... so relaxing... thank you for bringing me here, little sis...
June: but you know what would make this moment even more fantastic?
June: but you know what would make this moment even more fantastic?
June: if my family were here... Arni would love it here...
Rebecca: June... you know that's not possible...
Rebecca: jeez June! Stop talking about ghosts, you're giving me the creeps! And to answer your question, I don't know and I'm certainly not interested in finding out anytime soon!
June: *laughs* we're old ladies Rebs... it's not like we can live forever...
Rebecca: but I'm certainly going to enjoy what I have left and not think of other options! I'm not planning on going anytime soon, and I hope you aren't either, sister!
Rebecca: it is what it is. I don't know why he never visited as a ghost... maybe he was ready to move on. I made my peace with that. But I do hope to see him again... one day....
June: I'm sure you will... but hey, why did we end up talking about this stuff! We're not ghosts yet!
Rebecca: you started it, sis...
June: I know! And I'm giving myself the creeps! And suddenly I feel very cold... shall we go back roasting in the sun?
Rebecca: *laughs* yeah, this is something I really missed in my life with Karl...
June: roasting?
Rebecca: sunlight! *laughs*
Rebecca: oh, so nice, I can send it to Charlie!
June: sure... how is she doing? I haven't talked to her in ages...
Rebecca: she's fine, she and Jonas moved to the land of the fairies to spend their retirement... the kids are still looking after the family ranch...
June: nice... and you know what? It would be nice to meet again, all together... at least us siblings... while we still can!
Rebecca: again with the gloomy thoughts, June! You have to stop this. Now, let's go build sand sculptures, hopefully this will take your mind away from certain thoughts!
Rebecca: indeed... and it's fun, isn't it? Who said that old people can't play in the sand?
Rebecca: exactly! Look, my cowplant is almost complete...
June: and I've made a sea turtle! Look how cute!
June: no, I did!
Rebecca: haha we finished together!
June: haha yes, this was fun!
June: aww, so sweet! And indeed, it's so good to be together... I think we should really consider a reunion....
Rebecca: I'm glad you like this place with the rooftop bar!
June: very nice... and very nice food too!
Rebecca: and if we fancy feeling young again with some disco dancing, we can go downstairs... what do say, big sis? Fancy a crazy love dance?
Rebecca: and if we fancy feeling young again with some disco dancing, we can go downstairs... what do say, big sis? Fancy a crazy love dance?
June: sure, why not!
June: but you know what would be even better than a crazy Love dance? A crazy Love dance all together... Rebs, I really think we should plan a reunion... and I have an idea.... do you think the others would come here last minute? I know it's last minute but... we could at least ask them... we're all retired after all, no work schedule or similar... we could all do something a little crazy, right? I can ask Theodore, you can call Charlotte and Lily... this is such a great idea, after such a long time... I really don't know why this hadn't crossed my mind earlier!
Alex: oh man, is it tomorrow? No way... I would totally go but I'm... uhm, busy...
Eric: how come are you always so busy lately?
Alex: uh... er....
Jenny: Eric, I'm not sure... had you not said you would take me to the cinema?
Eric: uh... yeah true... but we can do both, right?
Jenny: ....
Gareth: Clara....
Clara: shush Gareth, I'm catching up with homework...
Gareth: wait... you didn't do your homework? For real?
Clara: I was... distracted... you know what happens when I start daydreaming...
Lowri: wow, that must have been quite a lot of daydreaming then...
Amelia: what is the Geekcon festival? Is it fun?
Chloe: it is if you like hanging out with nerds or if you're into gaming and stuff...
Lowri: sounds like fun...
Chloe: *laughs* yeah sure...
Lowri: no, really, why not? We should go... if my brother likes it, maybe it's fun...
Chloe: Lowri, your brother likes it because he's a nerd! I am so not going... besides.... I've got something else planned for us *grins*
Lowri: why do I feel like I should start worrying...
Chloe: relax cousin, there's nothing to worry about! But it is a bit of a secret...
Lowri: I knew it...
Chloe: I'll tell you later. But now, have you not noticed how hot the weather is today? I'm boiling... this school doesn't even know what air con is!
Lowri: indeed, but it is Summer, so...
Chloe: yes indeed, therefore, we have a good reason to wear our Summer outfits! Right, Lo? On the count of three.... three... two.... one....
Chloe: aaah now, that's way better!
Lowri: why do I follow her crazy plans again?
Chloe: because they are not crazy at all, of course!
Amelia: hey, why did you all suddenly change your clothes?
Lowri: I would like to know that too...
Chloe: because it's too hot for the regular outfits?
Zoe: yeah, why did we not think about it this morning... and---
Zoe: oh jeez not again! And we're at school, the teacher might come in any minute now... have they no shame?
Chloe: jealous much, sister? I bet you would be doing the same, were your green haired boyfriend still here...
Zoe: oh shut up!
Chloe: ... I definitely would! *sighs*
Luke: don't turn aorund... whatever you do, don't turn around... so awkward....
Jimmy: *laughs* yeah, but on the other hand, good for them, right?
Luke: yeah...
Jimmy: by the way, I've heard you have a mystery girlfriend! Anybody we know? *winks*
Luke: what?! Jeez... is the class not supposed to start, like, now?
Jimmy: *laughs* oh, I'll miss all this when I grow up...
Luke: that's right, your birthday is coming up!
Jimmy: indeed it is... I won't miss studying though! Not at all...
Alex: umph I don't like this... more and more of us are growing up! We used to be such a cool group...
Luke: we still are, Alex! We're family...
Alex: yeah, but I mean, at school...
Zoe: well, not really, after Jimmy, we are all kind of the same age, right?
Amelia: yeah, that's actually true... except for Lowri and Gareth... and Clara...
Chloe: yeah, it'll be bad for them eventually, but all good for us!
Clara: that sucks! Specially for you and Gareth, Lo...
Lowri: yeah... but hey, that's not gonna happen for a long time, let's not worry about this, okay?
Chloe: exactly! Now I give you something to worry about Lo...
Lowri: excuse me?
Chloe: tomorrow night. You free?
Lowri: er... what for? Oh, is it the thing you said I should not worry about like, five minutes ago?
Chloe: oh shut up, it's a secret! Get your phone, I just sent you a text...
Chloe: just read it...
Lowri: tomorrow night... secret trip to the.... WHAT?!
Chloe: quietly!
Chloe: shush! I said quietly! There's a reason why I sent you a text and didn't talk about it... holy Plumbob, Lowri, you'd make such a bad secret agent...
Lowri: whatever, so why do you want to go to the vampire bar again?
Chloe: it's the real one this time! It's a super cool place...
Lowri: oh dear...
Clara: v-vampire bar? Oh dear... does it mean... that vampires are real?
Clara: ... but maybe... will there be werewolves too? That would be cool!
Gareth: I don't like the sound of this... I don't like it one bit...
Amelia: I don't know why she's so obsessed with supernatural creatures... or better, with some of them! She doesn't care for us witches at all, does she... and we're family!
Zoe: just ignore her... you know my sister is crazy, right?
James: I can't wait *grins*
Jimmy: er... guys? You do know that we are all still here, right?
Jenny: it's your punishment for forgetting your promise about the cinema, Eric!
Eric: I said I'm sorry! And we could do both, right?
Jenny: shush, the teacher is coming in!
Eric: can we please talk at lunch?
Jenny: we'll see...
Eric: oh my goodness, are you really mad at me? Like, for real? Jen...?
Amelia: so... what's the big mystery? Although it's not that mysterious as you guys were talking about it in class...
Lowri: well, she told me to read her text, how was I supposed to know I should not read it aloud!
Clara: I know vampires are involved! And hopefully werewolves too...
Gareth: seriously, why are you people so obsessed with scary creatures!
Amelia: whatever this is, it does not sound good... do you think she has a date or something and needs us to cover for her? After all, that's what my sister did, and asked your sister to cover for her... it seems to run in the family....But why vampires?
Lowri: I don't know...
Chloe: oh, wow, I did not expect to have such a big audience... and I said it was a secret! Obviously the word "secret" is much interpretable according to the cousins...
Lowri: to have a lot of... what?! You're joking, right?
Chloe: but of course I am *laughs* kind of... anyway, I assume you are all here to hear my wonderful secret plan....
Amelia: wait, what bar?
Clara: the vampire bar of course! This sounds exciting! Gareth, do you think werewolves might also hang out there?
Gareth: er... I hope not!
Lowri: fine, fine... now, tell us what exactly is going on....
Chloe: I have received an invitation!
Lowri: a what?
Chloe: and even if I did?
Amelia: Chloe! It's dangerous!
Chloe: naah, of course it's not! And anyway, it's the cousins that sent the invitation so... it's super safe!
Lowri: I wouldn't bet on that...
Clara: did they say if there are werewolves too? I just read a book---
Chloe: *sighs* guys, please, relax! Everything is going to be fine!
Lowri: we still don't know why you're telling us though...
Chloe: ah, yes, that... well, you are obviously part of the plan...
Gareth: obviously... I don't feel good about this... I really don't...
Clara: oh, come on Gareth, it will be fun! And we'll be all together, there's nothing to worry about...
Gareth: when have you become so brave, Clara?
Clara: since I really need anything that takes my mind away from.... er... stuff...
Gareth: I thought you used daydreaming for that...
Clara: well, sometimes it's good to actually do stuff, you know, for real....
Lowri: so, let me get this straight... you need us to... cover for you?
Amelia: I told you! She has a date! Oh Chloe...
Chloe: *sighs* unfortunately, I do not have a date. But I might...
Amelia: you might?
Chloe: look, the cousins promised to introduce me to their friends, okay? And plumbob knows that I need to meet new people... I mean, don't you feel weird, that most of the people we know are family? How is one supposed to find a boyfriend when everybody around us is family? Uh?
Amelia: *sighs* you've got a point there...
Chloe: see? I told you you would like this!
Lowri: but let me get this straight... you need us to cover for you with your parents... and what do we do while you... meet these... uh, people?
Chloe: well, you meet them too if you like, or you guys just have a drink and have fun! I've heard there's music, it'll be fun, you'll see!
Amelia: but why a vampire bar, and not a normal bar? If you want to meet people---
Chloe: oh, shut up Amelia. When you come up with your own idea, we'll go to a regular boring place. But since this is my idea, we stick to my plan, understood?
Amelia: *sighs* fine... we wouldn't want you to go alone in that place anyway... I've heard stories... about a new place that's the new hot spot for supernaturals... I do hope it's not the one we're going to...
Clara: wait, what kind of stories?
Chloe: enough! People, you know the plan. Now, in or out....
Lowri: .... why did you not ask Zoe? Or your brother?
Chloe: oh please, Zoe is a chicken! And Jimmy is too... protective... oh come on guys, let's go have a fun night out together, okay? I promise it'll be awesome! I'm so excited already!
Lowri: ... fine, we're in... but are you really sure about this, Chlo? I hate to be the spoilsport, but Amelia is right, it might be dangerous....
Chloe: naah, Amelia reads too many stories... there's really nothing to worry about, I tell you!
Amelia: mmm.... I'm not sure, I just developed a rash, look!
Chloe: and what's the connection?
Amelia: it's my body telling me it's a bad idea! I don't think we should go, Chloe...
Chloe: fine, you're out then.
Amelia: no, I'll come... I'm a witch, remember? I really hope I'm wrong, but you might need me...
Clara: but of course I'm coming! I've wanted to meet a warewolf since I read the history of werewolves book!
Gareth: and if you two are going, of course I'll join too... can't let you guys go alone... as my sister said, you might need us... but I hope Chloe is right and we'll just have a nice night out... there is one tiny chance for this, right?
Chloe: with way more people tagging along than expected but still... I can't believe it worked out...
Amelia: what did you say?
Alex: what is settled?
Chloe: and what is it that you're doing? Besides, it's too late, I booked entrance for five...
Amelia: I think you have a date.... *smiles*
Alex: what! How do you know? And woah, what happened to your skin?
Amelia: oh just a rash, I'll take my medicine and it'll disappear. But tell me about your mystery date! Who is it with?
Clara: oh, nice! I'm happy for you, Alex!
Alex: thanks Clara... I'm happy for me too! *smiles* it's only our second date but it's... promising *smiles*
Luke: oh please, why does everybody have to talk about their love life in public!
Clara: oh yes, to that, I can relate!
Amelia: oh, Clara...
Chloe: oh, you don't know? Little Clara has the hots for---
Amelia: Chloe! Shut up! You shouldn't even know... wait, how do you know?
Chloe: because I'm not blind? Unlike our poor Lowri here...
Lowri: wait, what are you talking about?
Jimmy: what am I missing here?
Clara: nothing...
Jimmy: you blushed! No, really, what's going on here?
Gareth: just let that go Jimmy....
Lowri: *whispering* your brother? Really?
Chloe: what?! Oh dear, no of course not! Jeez what are you thinking! No, but I know someone else who is secretly in love with him *smirks*
Amelia: wait, who is this? And how do you happen to know all this gossip anyway...
Lowri: and we just said we don't know many people that are not family, who could that be?
Chloe: *smirks* just look around girls, and put the pieces together... *laughs*
Lowri: Clara, *whispering* do you like Jimmy?
Clara: what?! No of course not! What are you thinking!
Lowri: then who....
Clara: nobody! *blushes*
Chloe: what do you mean what I'm up to, sister?
Zoe: I heard the whispering... you are scheming and you're getting the cousins involved...
Chloe: they are willing participants! Besides, how could you hear anything while sending love texts to your boyfriend... *smirks*
Zoe: umph, he did not respond...
Chloe: oh, I thought you had the usual lunchtime chat appointment? Is everything okay?
Zoe: yeah... I guess so... hope so... it's weird he wasn't there though, right?
Chloe: a little... but I'm sure he'll text back soon, don't worry...
Zoe: *sighs* thanks Chlo...
Chloe: ah, am I not a wonderful sister!
Zoe: yeah... but wait, you changed the topic!
Jimmy: okay everybody, enough drama, I have an announcement to make.
Jimmy: this is my last week of high school! My birthday is coming up, and I can't wait to leave all the studying behind me! Woohoooo!
Gareth: congratulations! Wow, that went fast... and I just started high school! I hope time will not go this fast for me though, I just started to get the hang of it and I kind of like school so.... I'm not in a rush....
Luke: good for you Jimmy.... I can't say I'm not jealous... I'm counting down the days to my birthday... and there are still so many to go....too many....
Leo: hey Trys!
Trystan: hey dad...
Leo: what's up? You seem so... focused...
Trystan: dad... I've been thinking... and I think I have decided something....
Leo: yes? I'm listening...
Trystan: I've been thinking that maybe... maybe I could enrol in University...
Leo: oh wow!
Trystan: what do you think? Is it a stupid idea?
Leo: of course it's not, Trys, I think it's a great idea!
Trystan: really?
Leo: but of course! You're so clever Trys, it sounds like a natural path for you! You'll do amazingly well... and I'm so proud of you! And your mum is too, you know...
Trystan: wow, thanks dad!
Leo: so, have you decided what you're going to study? And where? Are you going to live in a dorm or will you take your chances with some random flatmates? *laughs*
Trystan: er... I haven't thought that far, dad... but I don't think I want to move out, actually...
Leo: oh...
Trystan: not yet anyway... maybe I can start the first semester living here? Or were you hoping to get rid of me already? *laughs*
Leo: but of course not, son, we are happy to have you here! But... don't you want to get the full experience? Night parties, annoying flatmates and all? Of course, I never experienced that myself, but your uncle Toby seems to have enjoyed the experience...
Trystan: er... no, thank you... I prefer having some peace and quiet... having my safe space, you know...
Leo: I understand son, but can I say that I think it would do you good to have a more active social life? We don't want to force you of course, but your mother and I have been a bit worried... you know, you don't want.... er...bad experiences from highschool to define what your life is going to be like.... you should give life... and love... another go, you know....
Trystan: jeez dad! Please don't...
Leo: I'm only saying that I think that maybe, just maybe, moving out and experiencing University life to the fullest would be good for you... we just want to see you happy Trys...
Trystan: but I am happy! In fact, I'm going to have a look at University courses right now!
Trystan: Britechester... or Foxbury... mmm... and what to study...
Trystan: something with robotics for sure! Let's see...
Lowri: mmm something is missing...
Lowri: yeah, I think I need to add a bit of purple...
Trystan: hey Lo, how's the painting going?
Trystan: sorry...
Lowri: nevermind, it's almost dinner time anyway... so, what's up?
Trystan: uhm, can I talk to you for a second?
Lowri: sure big brother! What's going?
Trystan: so, I just enrolled in University...
Lowri: oh wow!! so cool!! Congratulations, brother!
Trystan: thank you! I had been thinking about it for a while... and I finally decided!
Lowri: that's really cool! What are you going to study? No wait, I'm sure it's something with robots and stuff, right?
Trystan: yeah, kind of... I enrolled in a physics degree, where I will also study robotics, yeah...
Lowri: that's so cool! Sounds perfect for you big brother!
Trystan: yeah, it is but...
Lowri: but?
Trystan: it's mentioned that other types of skills are also appreciated, like painting for example...
Lowri: ah... interesting... are you going to paint the robots or what? *laughs*
Trystan: haha so funny... I think they expect students to have a broad perspective on things you know...
Lowri: meaning that you need to learn to paint?
Trystan: well.... yeah... and I have no clue so....
Lowri: you want me to teach you?
Trystan: well, you seem to have picked it up quickly so it's either super easy or you're a genius...
Trystan: yeah, maybe *grins* but either way, would you mind explaining me the basics?
Lowri: for sure, no problem Trys...
Lowri: I can't believe you're moving out! I always thought the first one would be Aneira... but in the end I'm happy she and Arwyn stayed with us... it's so nice to be together... but it's gonna be so much fun! Having flatmates and so on... such a different life!
Trystan: well, don't worry about that, as I have no plans of moving out yet *grins*
Trystan: jeez, I thought you would be pleased that we would still all be together!
Lowri: yes, sorry but... why? It's such a cool opportunity! Why would you choose just the studying part and not the fun part?
Trystan: well, because... I'm ... me? You know I don't like too much new things at the same time... I really prefer to stay here... and I don't know why you all seem to know better! It's my life, and my decision...
Lowri: of course it is, Trys, but---
Trystan: I think it's dinner time, shall we go?
Lowri: sure....
Benjamin: looks good, right? One day it just appeared and I felt a huge power inside me! Look, I can also help your plants grow healthier! Isn't it cool?
Leo: for sure!
James: yes, we know you *smiles*
Benjamin: and what are you two doing out here in this dark hour?
Benjamin: hoop practice?
James: yeah, basketball hoops... fancy shooting a few with us?
Benjamin: shooting... hoops? What do you mean son, I don't understand anything you're saying...
James: see that hoop? We're going to take turns to shoot and maybe we'll also have time for a dunking game!
Benjamin: a... what?
Eric: but we're not making fun of you, that's basketball lingo!
Leo: yes, Benjamin, please don't leave...
Benjamin: umph, I'm gonna find your grandma and complain to her! How can my granddaughter June let her grandkids talk to their ancestors like that?
James: but it's not my fault if he's old and doesn't understand basketball!
Leo: don't worry boys, I'll go find him and explain.... but first, show me some good dunks!
Arwyn: wow, Juliet, you're glowing!
Juliet: Arwyn?
Arwyn: yes?
Juliet: I think I'm gonna go on the swing now. Why don't you fetch Aneira and join me? There's something I would like to discuss with you...
Arwyn: she's on her way.. what is so urgent? I'm curious...
Juliet: well, it's not urgent, although in some ways it is... you know, I'm not always around to talk to you kids so, better take the opportunity when it presents itself!
Juliet: there she is!
Aneira: uh?
Aneira: so, what's up great-grandma? And wow, that's a nice glow you have tonight...
Arwyn: and locations.... you know, there's so many of us that we need to make sure there's enough space--
Juliet: yes, here! Like your mother before you... although well, technically she got married in the nearby area, but that's gone now, and there's so much space here, and everything you might need for a wedding party! Plus, if you get married here, we ghosts can also attend you know...
Aneira: of course we can't wait, but why are you rushing us?
Juliet: think about it, kids! And see you this weekend! *laughs*
Arwyn: well, first about having the wedding here, this weekend... then we can think about the rest... *smiles*
Theodore: here we are... I think this is the place...
Theodore: yes, but this place has got the sea! Wow!
Rebecca: June! They're here! Oh my goodness, this really worked!
Hildur: Theo, don't be rude, you don't exactly look like a young man yourself... although you have aged very well indeed... *winks*
Rebecca: you guys haven't changed one bit!
June: Theodore! Hildur! Oh my goodness, I can't believe you are here, it's been so long...
Hildur: so basically, had it not been for you, June might have never had the idea of organising a reunion?
Rebecca: well, I don't know, but I guess... yeah, of course it's thanks to me *laughs*
Theodore: ah yes! You had told me... and how is that going?
Rebecca: *laughs*
Theodore: so, let me get this straight... Alice's sister in law is the Evil Queen of the Elves... like, seriously? *laughs*
June: and how about your grandchildren, Theo?
Rebecca: but Charlie, where are your fairy wings?
Aneira: hey, what's going on? I was about to go to bed... was wondering where you were...
Arwyn: er, your great-grandmother wanted to talk to us...
Aneira: uh?
Arwyn: I don't know...
Aneira: being pulled out of bed because your ghost great-grandmother decides it's time to have an urgent talk with you and your fiancé. Yep, just a regular evening in the Love household...
Juliet: indeed, isn't it wonderful? But let's just get to the point. How's the wedding planning going?
Arwyn: .... er.....
Aneira: well, we're discussing the options....
Juliet: locations? Why, you should obviously get married here!
Aneira: here?
Aneira: ah... I hadn't thought about that... Arwyn, what do you think?
Arwyn: well, I guess it could work... if that's what you want....
Juliet: but of course it's what I want!
Arwyn: I meant Annie...
Juliet: So that's decided then, location is done. Now about the date... this weekend okay?
Arwyn: what!
Juliet: what, I thought you couldn't wait to get married to my great-granddaughter...
Juliet: I'm not rushing... okay fine, I am trying to speed things up a bit, okay? I'm bored...
Aneira: bored?
Juliet: yeah, of washing dishes! Everytime I come here to hang out with you there are dishes to wash that you all seem to be neglecting. I'm bored! I want to be helpful in other ways... like.... looking after your babies *smiles*
Arwyn: what!
Aneira: ah....
Arwyn: well.... what do you think about it?
Aneira: about babies?!
Aneira: well... I like the idea of getting married here... after all, that's where we fell in love...
Arwyn: *smiles*
Aneira: and we have a few days to plan... but it's really short notice! Do you think Ella and Berwyn could make it? I feel bad... I literally just told my parents that we were not in a rush to get married so that we wouldn't need to call them back so soon... and grandma! But she said she would be back by Friday anyway... oh dear, I really don't want to mess up people's holiday plans...
Arwyn: don't worry about it, as you said, your grandmother should be back anyway, and my brother better drop whatever he's doing and show up here. And it's not like it's tomorrow, a few days will be enough, don't worry...
Aneira: then yes... I think it can work...
Arwyn: perfect *smiles*
Aneira: wow... we're really getting married! This weekend!
Arwyn: are you happy?
Aneira: YES!
Shameka: thank goodness, finally a family event that I can go to! It was starting to get boring...
Hildur: oh, looks good, a bit like home, don't you think?
Hildur: indeed... look at that blue! I wouldn't mind moving here to be honest...
Theodore: and I cannot say I disagree... but let's not forget why we're here! I can't wait to see my siblings again! But where are they... ah...
Theodore: June! There you are!
June: uh?
Theodore: hey little sister! Wow, it's really been ages!
Theodore: *laughs* oh stop it, Hil...
Theodore: hello, big sister... I have missed you...
June: and I have missed you! How come we never thought of meeting up before this point?
Rebecca: I don't know, but I'm glad we came to visit you when we did! It was beautiful to reconnect...
June: oh come on, it didn't need to come from me, any of you guys could also have thought about it!
Theodore: indeed... but you're the Love in charge June, it had to come from you! *smiles*
June: well, technically it's Alice now, she's the Love in charge...
June: she's doing a brilliant job! She and Leo have raised five wonderful children, I'm so proud...
Rebecca: not to mention she had to constantly stand up to her evil sister in law!
Hildur: wow, I'm so lucky I didn't get one of those... *smiles*
Theodore: evil sister in law? What happened?
June: oh, long story... but with a happy ending of course! Now, why don't we go inside? There's a beautiful terrace with a view where we could have tea while we wait for the others...
Hildur: yes but you have to continue the story! We're waiting for gossip here!
June: haha well, it's not gossip, more like drama....
Hildur: and I'm here for it! Come on June, now that we don't have drama going on in our old lives anymore, we can at least enjoy other people's stories!
Theodore: and thank plumbob for that....
Hildur: don't laugh, she might hear you! I told you that elves are real... like fairies... if you were born in Aurora Skies like me you would not question it...
June: oh yes she's very much real... unfortunately... on the other hand, her husband is a very nice guy, and their son is a very close friend of my grandchildren... unfortunately her eldest daughter is pretty much like her, but the youngest seems to have taken from her dad...
Hildur: and what about your grandchildren, Rebecca? Are you a great-grandmother yet?
Rebecca: *laughs* oh no, definitely not... how shall I put it... I love Oliver and Justin to bits but they're... uh.... not the settling down kind of guys... they're always out an about with their vampire friends to do plumbob knows what, but nothing good I guess... but then again, you never know. But I'm afraid they were not a good influence for some of their cousins... and I'm sorry about that *sighs*
Theodore: oh Louise and Laurie are fine, all grown up and with their own families of course... wow, this makes me feel so old...
Charlotte: oh shut up brother, we are not old yet! Besides, I hope it's not an old people retreat I was invited to...
Rebecca: Charlie!
Charlotte: hello, everybody! It's been a while....
Lily: indeed it has...
Jonathan: but I'm so glad you have wonderful siblings that thought to organise a reunion, love!
Jonas: speaking of wonderful siblings, where's mine?
Rebecca: it's so nice to see you, Charlie!
Charlotte: likewise, twin sis...
June: Lily! Charlie! Jonathan, Jonas... it's so nice to see you!
Lily: you too big sis!
June: wow, you haven't changed baby sister!
Lily: oh shut up, of course I have... like everybody else...
Hildur: Jonas! At last! It's been ages brother...
Jonas: indeed... way too long sister....
Hildur: let's not wait this long next time, specially now that it's just the two of us left... I can't believe we didn't manage to see Arni one last time, you think there will be time, occasions... and then... it's too late...
Jonas: I know...
Theodore: Jonathan!
Jonathan: hey man, how's it going?
Theodore: alright... so nice to see you guys again! And good to see that you two... managed to stay young... you look great! What's your secret?
Jonathan: *laughs* I don't know man, good genes?
Charlotte: oh, they're always here but they're invisible! To be honest it's much more practical for the everyday life... but if you want I can show you... I've learnt so much stuff about fairies over the years, about my people, and we also thought of retiring with them or something...
Rebecca: what! Retiring with the fairies? Like... in fairyland? Literally... and where would that be?
Charlotte: well, it's complicated, but there is a fairy realm, yes... the thing is, they've been at war with the elves for ages and---
Rebecca: elves! Don't tell me.... and I bet June would agree with them *laughs*
Charlotte: er... why?
Rebecca: oh, long story *smiles*
June: everybody's saying this! I'm sorry I didn't think of this before! But you know, life, kids, grandkids, drama... and now that Arni is gone and I took a break from the usual routine---
Lily: oh yes, that's nice...
Lily: exactly, and we rock! So, what are we waiting for, let's get this reunion started!
Lily: not me!
June: oh come on, it all ended well!
Jonathan: I don't know about this story...
Jonathan: too bad, sounds like fun!
Rebecca: like fun? Seriously?
Jonas: well, that's how us three found our future spouses after all...
Jonas: but I mean, what are the chances? But there was no other options but being in love with the Loves *laughs*
Jonathan: wait a minute: am I the only spouse that's not coming from Aurora Skies?
Rebecca: yep... my Karl was also from there *sighs*
Charlotte: oh Rebs, it's so sad that he went so early....
Jonathan: no, really! How come I had never realised this before?
Lily: *laughs* because you are you, darling...
Charlotte: not at all, you're the VIP in the group! *winks*
Theodore: yes, you're special Jon *grins*
Jonathan: I'm special? Wow now this made me feel better *grins*
June: oh wow, it's lunchtime already!
Jonathan: chicken skewers... none of us is vegetarian right? I don't remember...
Theo: er...we can also make a salad next to them, right?
Charlotte: ladies, shall we have a dip while we wait for lunch?
Lily: same... to be honest I don't know how you or June managed with so many kids, it was so much work with just one!
Theodore: what?!
Jonas: no!
Lily: hey, where are you going, the table is this way!
Rebecca: probably at Theo and Hildur's wedding...
Charlotte: well, then we have to thank our big sister for this lovely holiday and reunion! I think this needs a toast...
June: but we only have tea...
Charlotte: we can toast with that!
Hildur: if you don't mind, we're old, not sick! If it's time for toasting, I'd rather have something stronger, if you know what I mean... *smiles*
Gareth: are you sure this is the right place?
Amelia: yep, that's what the map says...
Chloe: jeez, why are you still using paper, Amelia? That's so Sims 3... Simoogle maps is so much better!
Lowri: ok, we're here. Now, what shall we do?
Chloe: but we go inside of course! What kind of question is that...
Clara: can you see any werewolf around?
Chloe: are you scared, cousin? You, a witch? *laughs*
Amelia: no more than you are, Chloe...
Chloe: pfft what are you talking about!
Amelia: well, you were so keen to be here... why are we not getting in?
Chloe: I don't want to rush... I'm enjoying every second of this! Can you not feel the thrill?
Amelia: yeah, I can, and it's not good...
Lowri: it's alright, now that I'm here I'm actually quite curious... this place is huge, quite different from the vampire bar we went to for Ella's birthday!
Clara: and me! I really want to meet a werewolf, there are some points in that book I read that are not very clear...
Chloe: well, well, who would have thought... shy dreamy Clara found some courage!
Amelia: ... while you are still not daring to cross the gate... *cough cough*
Gareth: fine, let's get in! I seem to be the only one with concerns now... thanks sis, I thought you were also worried!
Amelia: I am, and that's why we need to go, we're spellcasters, remember? But no worries, if you want to go home...
Gareth: I.... no, I will not leave my friends alone in this haunted place! I will protect you!
Gareth: and they might have good music!
Clara: *giggles*
Clara: so cool! What are we waiting for, let's go!
Lowri: Gareth? No need to delay, we are going in...
Gareth: *sighs* I know... it's just... I'm not that brave you know? And seeing Clara so brave... it's so unexpected... I feel stupid you know...
Lowri: you're not stupid Gareth! It's normal, it's not your cup of tea... you don't need to pretend to be brave, you can go home if you prefer, really...
Gareth: never! You are my family and I do want to protect you! I just hope there's nothing really to protect you from right now, you know... maybe one day I'll be stronger, but now... please don't tell the others..
Lowri: of course not! Come on, let's go....
Gareth: mmm I'm not sure I do, it's so dark... and are those ghosts over there?
Amelia: hey, I see Justin! Is that him at the bar?
Chloe: no, the message said specifically to wait for Oliver....
Praya: well well well, who do we have here.... teenage... humans?
Amelia: and spellcasters...
Lowri: and a half elf over here!
Praya: but of course! Good evening and welcome to the Spirits Up Club! Did you make a reservation? Or did you book an appointment, more likely? *smirks*
Amelia: uh, what?
Chloe: we do have an appointment! Our cousin Oliver works here, we're waiting for him...
Lowri: wait, what? He works here?
Amelia: I guess they both do, as Justin is at the bar...
Chloe: can you tell fortune?
Chloe: ....
Chloe: sure, of course...
Praya: good luck, blonde one! I hope you find what you seek... and that you won't regret your choice....
Chloe: ... yeah, probably.
Clara: as a matter of fact, I do...
Lowri: oh no, Clara, don't do it... you are too impressionable... she's just going to tell you some rubbish...
Clara: I'm interested...
Praya: thank you, darling, your friends here do not understand the fine art of tarot reading, but I am glad you and I understand each other...
Oliver: I might have missed that....
Chloe: seriously? Besides, where were you? That scary lady pulled a card for me and told me... things...
Oliver: oh, don't worry about Praya... you don't need to believe everything she tells you... only parts of it...
Chloe: what?!
Amelia: Chloe, tone it down, you're attracting attention... and we don't want to do that in a place like this, do we?
Lowri: me too, it's the first time I hear you mention that, Clara... I didn't know this kind of things interested you?
Clara: oh, it's just that I've been reading a book about tarots and had never meet someone who could actually read them! Fascinating!
Chloe: ...
Oliver: if you've changed your mind it's fine you know, but I work here so if you walk away I might not be able to sneak you in for free again....
Chloe: but we're family...
Oliver: yeah, but business is business Chloe, and I do enjoy working here... it's a cool, place, a cool job and sometimes we get free drinks, if you know what I mean...
Chloe: fine, let's do this. I intend to respect the appointment you booked for me.
Chloe: now, what are we doing, talking in the hallway? Did you not say you had friends to introduce me to?
Amelia: omg, five missed calls from my mum! Oh dear.... does she suspect that I'm not at your place Chloe? Chloe?
Justin: .....
Chloe: what things?
Octavia: Chloe? Amelia? What are you doing here?!
Amelia: Octavia? What are you doing here?
Amelia: oh my goodness, did mum send you? I found like a million missed calls from her! Omg does she know I'm not sleeping over at Chloe's?
Amelia: what?
Octavia: I was on the phone with her and she told me that she and dad had been invited to go out for dinner with aunt Cath and uncle Jay....
Amelia: WHAT?! Oh no, I'm so grounded... and Chloe too... and it's all her fault!
Octavia: haha don't worry sis, I'll cover for you *winks*
Amelia: really? Oh my goodness thank you Octavia, thank you---
Octavia: if you tell me what you're really doing here, of course...
Amelia: ah... well, I wish I knew....
Clara: oh wow! What are the chances?!
Gareth: many, since that's the back of the card... they are all the same....
Clara: oh no.... did I really pay 30 simoleons for this?
Lowri: er... Clara, it's just a card, don't worry about it...
Clara: no, I really want to learn about tarots! I can't believe this was my first direct experience with them... and yet, this is the card that was pulled for me... what message is it trying to tell me?
Gareth: see what you've done on young impressionable mind?
Praya: oh, fear not young man, this is just the beginning! She's just opening her mind to the magic...
Lowri: er... sure... but are you sure you're going to be ok? And... that it's safe?
Praya: of course it is safe, what do you think I'm gonna do, eat her? *laughs*
Minerva: hey kids, what are you doing here? The dance floor is down that way! And music is really cool tonight... go ahead, go dance crazy!
Gareth: you know what? I think I might just do that... I've had enough of tarots and creepy conversations...
Lowri: no, thank you... I think I might need a drink...
Lowri: uh, what?
Lowri: not with me...
Lowri: you mean table 2?
Lowri: this place is full of weirdos... I would so not want to be in the shoes of that guy's date! I think I do need a drink now...
Justin: hey cousin, I could say the same thing to you...
Justin: yes, I knew about Chloe, but I didn't know you would also be interested in---
Lowri: in what?
Justin: nothing... I mean, in hanging out with vampires...
Lowri: would not be my first pick, but this place looks interesting... creepy, but interesting...
Lowri: oh, sorry, I didn't see you there... and well, to be honest...
Arthur: you're right of course, we are all a bit creepy...
Lowri: oh, shut up Justin... but tell me, have you worked here long? I feel that we've never really talked and I have no idea what you do in your life at all...
Justin: well, you were too young when we first came to visit your family... I barely recognised you, actually! Were it not for the purple hair...
Arthur: ah, yes, that's a rather unusual hair colour! Although I did meet a little girl with purple hair once, so it must not be that unusual...
Lowri: wait a minute, I know you! I thought you looked familiar!
Arthur: er... you do? Because I most certainly have no idea who you are...
Arthur: I'm sorry but I'm not following...
Lowri: I'm Lowri!
Arthur: oh, you're Lowri!
Lowri: exactly!
Arthur: sorry, still no clue....
Lowri: at the vampire bar that we went to after Ella's birthday! Remember? Ella got drunk really badly and Annie and I had to carry her home? And--
Justin: ah yes... that was ages ago! Were you there too? But yes, I remember Chloe... she was being a pain *laughs* so I guess there must have been other kids too... I really don't remember you...
Arthur: but now I do! I helped you get home that night, right?
Arthur: haha I'm sorry, it's just, I was trying to remember where I might have met you, as you are now... but I do remember now! I remember you were a brave little girl and were not scared to talk to me at all!
Lowri: why, should I have been?
Lowri: noooo not at all! You looked funny actually, with that serious face...and you were kind to us, you helped us. Thank you, by the way..
Arthur: pleasure... *smiles* so, are your sisters okay now?
Lowri: well, it was ages ago, did you think Ella would stay drunk to this day? That would be so worrying! And Ella is my cousin. Aneira is my sister. And they're both happily engaged by the way! Or kind of. Well my sister is anwyay. But Ella and Berwyin are finally together and off on adventures, so they might as well be engaged. But he's much better than that loser that secretly married my cousin Nick! I mean, I am happy for them, but could he not just tell her he was not interested? He kept that up for ages and lead her to believe---
Arthur: er.... I'm not sure I follow....
Lowri: oh sorry, I've been rambling. Sorry, I tend to do that...
Lowri: *laughs* indeed! You're funny, you looked so serious last time, but I knew you were funny!
Arthur: it's the truth!
Marcus: *stare*
Justin: ....
Arthur: touché! But as I said last time, I'm already dead so...
Lowri: but it's so unhealthy!
Arthur: and yet, you are also here now...
Lowri: only because my cousin dragged me here...
Arthur: which one?
Lowri: Chloe... she's always been obsessed by vampires and she was so excited to get an invite to this place... through the cousins here!
Justin: ....
Justin: uh, what? Did you say anything?
Arthur: you better focus man, I'm going to order a drink for your cousin and one for myself - but make them mocktails this time! We don't want to get your young cousin here into bad habits now, do we...
Lowri: what, a supernatural hangout disguised as vampire bar? Very inclusive by the way, very cool!
Arthur: well, yeah, but that's not the point, I'm serious. For example, you really don't want to go upstairs...
Lowri: why, is the restaurant scary?
Lowri: Nobody, I just figured it out... a creepy guy earlier mentioned---- oh my goodness... oh my goodness! I just figured it out...
Arthur: this is vampire hangout Lowri, what did you expect to be upstairs, a Michelin star chef? That's why it's dangerous for... you! Not all vampires are friendly... Actually, most are really not. Seriously, humans are so naive sometimes, you literally walked into a vampire bar and expected us to drink what, orange juice?
Lowri: but you...
Arthur: I'm ... well, I'm me. I'm vegetarian. But most of our kind are not! You are literally a walking meal for most people here...
Lowri: I think I'm going to be sick...
Arthur: I'm not trying, you need to be a bit more aware of the places you pick to go out at night!
Lowri: for the records, I didn't pick this place, it was---
Arthur: AND I'm making sure you know the reality of vampires... we have way too many young humans that walk in seeking the thrills of dining with a vampire... and regretting their decision when it's too late. We're not nice people, you should not like us!
Lowri: I don't know why you suddenly started to be weird, but I definitely do not like vampires now...
Arthur: good, I'm doing this for you you know...
Amelia: .... Lowri? Who's that?
Amelia: ... yeah sure, that's Arthur. Who's Arthur?
Lowri: uh? He's...
Amelia: never mind. Listen, have you seen Chloe? I can't find her...
Lowri: Chloe? Yeah she was sitting right there... and now she's not....
Amelia: I've looked everywhere and can't find her... and you know what she's like... I'm starting to get worried....
Arthur: and there it is! Yet another one... can't say I hadn't warned you...
Amelia: what is he talking about?
Lowri: he was trying to scare me... but actually, should we be?
Amelia: I am starting to be... she was sitting there, talking to Oliver and that other creepy guy... I was talking to my sister, and when I turned around they were gone... listen, I don't want to scare you, but I've heard things about this place...
Lowri: I think I have kind of figured it out... Arthur made sure I did anyway....
Lowri: but you don't think that Chloe---
Amelia: I mean, it wouldn't be the first crazy idea she has... although this would top them all..
Gareth: hey guys, is everything ok? You look so tense...
Clara: this night has been so much fun so far! I've learned so much about tarots, I think I should get some cards and then I can read your future!
Arthur: Lowri? Is everything ok?
Lowri: I don't really know, I think I need to sit down a minute....
Rory: hey guys, what's up?
Arthur: er, this seat was kind of taken....
Rory: wait, what was that noise? Ah yes, something I really don't care about...
Amelia: rude, much! And we have an emergency here!
Lowri: Justin, you must know something! Tell us, did you see where Chloe went?
Justin: uhm... I'm not sure, maybe she went to the toilet?
Lowri: of course that's not where she went and you know it! Besides, Amelia already checked.
Lowri: spill the beans cousin, what are you hiding?
Robert: cousin? I didn't know you had human relatives, Justin?
Lowri: distant relatives...
Arthur: yes, we've been through that already Rob. Lowri, don't worry, we'll find your cousin... she can't be far... what does she look like? We can ask around, maybe someone has seen her...
Lowri: blond, long hair...
Robert: oh, I've seen a blond girl going upstairs actually... but it can't have been your cousin, she was with Marcus...
Clara: Gareth, I decided, I'm going to be brave and talk to the lady werewolf over there!
Arthur: nobody you want to meet, he owns this place... but I'm sure my friend here must have seen someone else, your cousin can't possibly---
Robert: ... and Oliver....
Lowri: oh no!
Amelia: we need to find her, now! Come on Lowri, let's go, we've wasted enough time...
Clara: hello lady werewolf! I can see you're raging, but would you have a minute for a couple of questions on werewolf history?
Rory: uh? I thought we were about to go on a hunt?
Robert: don't worry, beautiful lady, we'll save your cousin...
Arthur: this is my friend Rob...
Amelia: what do you mean in time?
Robert: you wait here young ladies, I'll go find her and bring her back to you safe and sound...
Gareth: excuse me, I'm also here!
Lowri: hopefully?
Robert: no you are not, it's too dangerous! Don't you understand what's going on upstairs?
Robert: I appreciate the concern but I'm a vampire...
Amelia: and she's our cousin! We're coming with you.
Gareth: actually, I understand it very well and I'm very much not interested to experience it...
Clara: me neither...
Lowri: fine, you can wait for us here, okay? We'll be back soon...
Amelia: don't worry Gareth, it's ok, we'll manage...
Arthur: we'll have your back Rob, you check the right wing, we check the left...
Amelia: is it time to be scared yet?
Robert: not yet...
Amelia: uh oh....
Robert: stay close to me....
Arthur: not the time for sarcasm, Lowri...
Lowri: right, sorry... I'm a bit nervous...
Lowri: ah....
Marcus: I hope for you you do have a ticket... this area is for VIP clients with appointments only!
Ghost Eleanor: not they don't! They are not on the list, Marcus!
Lowri: Arthur....
Lowri: hey! I'm no food, you idiot!
Marcus: wait, what did she just say?
Arthur: too late! Go to sleep Marcus, it's time for a long, relaxing rest....
Lowri: oh wow!
Arthur: thank you *smiles*
Khaled: I told you I don't know! I've seen dozens of girls tonight, how am I supposed to remember the one you're looking for?
Robert: Khaled, you don't want to fight me. One last chance, where is she!
Khaled: okay, I don't want troubles... and the boss will kill me if he finds out I told you... but I did feel conflicted as she did look a bit too young...
Robert: Khaled? For the last time, where is she?!
Lowri: Oliver?
Oliver: Lowri? What the plumbob are you doing here!
Lowri: I could ask you the same question...
Oliver: I work---
Arthur: oh, don't worry about him. He'll be fine.
Oliver: he's my boss! He's gonna kill me!
Arthur: not unless you tell us where you took your cousin....
Oliver: who?
Oliver: damn my stupid brother, can't keep a secret that one!
Lowri: wait, Justin knew? All this time? You guys are so... so... evil! We can't possibly be family!
Oliver: woah, easy kid. This is work, okay? And if you must know, she is the one who asked-- no, begged, for this! Not my problem if she's crazy, if she wants to---
Oliver: you don't scare me, Arthur...
Lowri: oh, he should!!
Arthur: you have three seconds. One.... two....
Arthur: thr---
Amelia: we found her!!
Robert: what do you think you're doing Diego! She's a child!
Diego: a willing one, Robert.
Robert: get out of the way Diego, I'm taking her home!
Diego: what?!
Chloe: oh, so nice, these two strangers figthing for me! Oh wait, are they really vampires? So cool! Perhaps I'm dreaming...
Khaled: oh my...
Robert: let's go...
Amelia: what happened to her? What did they do to her?
Robert: I said let's go. We need to get out of here. Now!
To be continued....
I hope you liked this chapter! It turned out a bit of a patchwork, with multiple storylines happening more or less at the same time, but I hope you enjoyed.
More soon! (hopefully before the next 6 months.....)
